Research on lightning and its modelling using measurements at the Milešovka Observatory within the Research Center of Cosmic Rays and Radiation Events in the Atmosphere
Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: The article describes the equipment of the Milešovka meteorological observatory that is aimed at studying the internal structure of convective storms and storms accompanied by lightning. It also presents the developed numerical model of the cloud and its electrification called CEMW, which is used to simulate idealized and real storms. The article also includes a brief description of the obtained results with reference to published studies where the findings are described in detail. As main results, we consider newly developed methods and algorithms for processing data of the METEK 35c cloud profiler and the FURUNO WR2120 X-band weather radar, which were used in the research and development of the original CEMW mathematical model simulating cloud electrification and electrical discharges.
